For me this is a wonderful work. I try the least to write a critique while having read other critiques but the rating forced me. I would look at this work from what you want to show rather than what I want to see. So firstly, I like the concept of a withered rose and this is well captured. I like the blackness creep up the reddish petals and the rose is not even a fully blossomed one (as far as I can see).

The unblossomed rose along with it being... "dead" matches the title that you have the work. Lost souls. I personally like the title although, it isn't perhaps the most unique one. Then I also like the contrast between the black roses and light around. That only works for the contrast and does not, in my opinion compliment the title.

Lastly, I am fine with the blurring but the... ledge perhaps? or protrusion of whatever sort in the background left me in wonder over where this was taken and... distracted me.

So over all a really good work.
